The residents of Bupa’s Trenewydd Residential Home, Ger y Tarrell, Llanfaes, Brecon, will be serenaded by The David Chalford Trio, two singers and a pianist on Friday 23 October at 6.30pm.
The concert has been organised by Music in Hospitals (MiH), a leading charity that provides professionally performed live music in health and care settings throughout the UK. It’s ‘Musical Memories in Care Homes’ project offers live music from a variety of performers, styles and instruments to care home residents.
